Totatiche Films

[Joseph Puentes <makas@...>]

Great job Stella, 

Wow you are really digging in and doing your own research. . .go girl! I
wish I had relatives in totatiche for you to help me find. . .that would
mean we might be relatives too. You never know but later we might find some
there too.

uh, ummm, just wondering but have you done a page by page study of each film
from beginning to end? If not some of my greatest finds have been when I'm
not searching for anyone in particular but just trying to find any relatives
I might come across. 

just a suggestion but I'd recommend if you haven't already done this,  go
back and slowly scan each record paying careful attention to the wives of
each of the abuelos. Also write down any padrinos that look like they might
be related. Many times the padrinos are related. And if you are lucky the
padrinos are a married couple and are closely related. Then you can do a
parent search for them and see who else you can find maybe on another film.

If you've decided to really let the films go back then get the most that
you can get out of each one taking special note of people with the same surnames
you are researching. If you are fortunate enough to have indexes included
in the films you might make copies of these indexes (or at least for the
surnames letters you are researching) so if later you discover other relatives
that you didn't recognize at this time you'll at least know what records
are on the film for that surname. 

just my thoughts,

Joseph

ps: oh and if you haven't already done this do yourself a big favor when
making copies. On the copy write down at the very least the film number.

On mine I write down the film number and other info something like this:

0443671v3p129/1415   (23Oct1730)   

this is the film number, volume within the film, page number if available,
record number if available and then the date the record is given
